Marnie is having a tough few months: she broke up with Charlie, fell
out with Hannah, got fired from her job and got used by Booth. Marnie’s
sense of self has severely dissolved. So much so that she’s with Charlie
again, first for some sex and then for some brunch. She gives a speech
about endpoints — how they have all these experiences so they can settle
down, now they’re behind us. Charlie doesn’t understand what she means
and isn’t cool with them being "settled down.” Finally Marnie gets it:
"we’re not dating?” Marnie says "I never imagined in a million years
that you and I would be having casual sex.” She storms off, but storms
back to ask "So you really don’t want to date me? Last chance.” He
follows her to ask "what are you doing?” She tells him that this has
been the worst year of her life. "I want you, I know I’m a mess but I
want you. I want to see you every morning and I want to make you a snack
every night. And eventually I want to have your little brown babies and
I want to watch you die.” Charlie says that’s all he ever wanted and he
loves her. "Maybe I’m an idiot for it but I always have. Everything
good I try to do I do because of you and I try and get away but I just
keep coming back and that’s because I love you.” *Hug* Marnie throws in
there that she doesn’t love him for his money because she doesn’t know
how much he has. "A lot of money,” Charlie says.

Ray and Shoshanna:

Their relationship has been going downhill the last few episodes (but
hasn’t reached the terrible level of Charlie/Marnie, or of
Hannah/Adam–yet). While promoting his new film "Good Night” at the South
by Southwest festival, Alex Karpovsky, who plays Ray, said the Sesason 2
finale goes "deeper and darker” for the two lovers. However, despite
the relationship turmoil, Karpovsky said his character winds up "in a
place that’s very moving, surprising, and for (him), very illuminating.”
Ray decides it’s finally time to do something with his life (and wants
to impress the girlfriend who isn’t that interested in him anymore).

So where do they stand now? They are having sex and Shoshanna isn’t
that into it and Ray can’t finish unless Shosh finishes. They are both
being weird. "Will you get out of me?” she demands. (Good for her for
demanding). Then she blurts out what’s bothering her: "You have no
ambition and it’s really weighing on me, your lack of ambition.” Ray
isn’t surprised. "Is this a real issue?” he wants to know. Of course
it’s a real issue, Ray, of course it is.
